home!

After spending the last 20 days in camp with the exception of 1 nights out, it really feels good to be back on my bed even with the irritating painters painter my building. The past 3 weeks are pretty much the most eventful 3 weeks I have had in a long time. Lost 3kg which sadly sheds off more weight to my rather frail physique. Went for ATP and got my marksman which gave me 200dollars courtesy of the SAF. A captain came down one day to tell me that there might be a chance for me to be pushed for june's SMS board(although i doubt it). I find out my promotion to LTA will only be in effect from NOV instead of the JULY i was entitled to. HDB called me 2 days ago to inform me they have offered me an overseas scholarship. Did 24 km last night which ended only at 2ish in the morning. And i read my first ever erotic novel which was passed around the whole platoon like some toy.

Spending just about every moment i had with the cadets and it is so easy to forget that I am an officer on course. I talked to them at the end of yesterday following a very disappointing behavior observed not just by myself but my other spec friends. I told them about what happened to me in Delta and how we should never take our learning for granted or give half-fuck standards for anything. I can empathize with how they feel and the need to want to slack if there is a chance to. I was a cadet once. Its really different giving a stern warning about behavior to a bunch of people older than you while being their brothers and talking shit to them during admin time. I am not sure how much they will listen or even respect me for that matter. But at the end of the day I guess it suffices that I know i did my part as a motivator and perhaps to a certain extent even a mentor to them.

HDB was a pleasant surprise. But it has now left me a very complicated situation. Should i wait for the SMS board that might never come dependent on how the 'fight' for my situation goes. But it now means my ticket to UCL has been bought regardless and its good to finally have something go my way this year. gonna meet just about every group of friends i have in these 2 weekends so here i come social life!

Its always amazing how southpark remains so full of shit while depicting current issues rather accurately at the same time.

Had a good weekend the past 2 weeks and met up with just about everybody that mattered. Comforts of camp for the next 2 weekends await me but at least I am enjoying FAOCC.
